Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 5332985, member: 271"] We were the better team. That’s why the loss hurts so much. I’d pick our guys to beat them 7 out of 10 times based on what I saw. Just a total mental collapse. That fear that creeps in when you are about to get a big upset win is very real and the whole program locked up. I don’t think it will happen again. You learn from that and in the end, it gives you confidence. As a tennis player I was always dealing with playing older, “better” players. You can really freeze up when you are beating someone you aren’t supposed to be beating. Once a meltdown happens, you realize you gave away a big win due to fear. It actually builds that needed fearlessness you need to mow people down going forward. We need to build off of this and come out guns blazing this Saturday. They really shouldn’t take anything from this but “we blew it and that’s the last time we do that”. That goes for everyone involved. [/QUOTE]
